Go beyond the familiar and discover deep spiritual truths in King David’s famous Psalm 23.

Psalm 23 is one of the most familiar and beloved passages in the Bible, even to those who would say they have no faith. Many have been comforted by its words at funerals and times of loss or despair. But the risk is that in its familiarity we can overlook how both theologically rich and personally challenging Psalm 23 is.

He Refreshes My Soul takes each verse of Psalm 23 and invites us to marvel anew at each rich phrase.

With a light yet insightful touch, Jeannie Kendall unpacks the context and background of each verse to help us understand the meaning of the imagery used. Each reflection also includes a prayer, questions to provoke further thought and creative ideas to engage with that can be used by individuals or in a group setting.

As you slow down and savour the riches of Psalm 23, you will find a real treasure trove of truth, challenge and encouragement that will help you draw closer to the Shepherd who loves you.

He Refreshes My Soul will help you:
*

Discover richer meaning in this beloved Psalm
*

Dig beneath the familiar phrases of Psalm 23 to find biblical treasure
*

Understand and draw closer to Jesus, the Good Shepherd
*

Gain a deeper understanding of the biblical imagery of sheep and shepherd that can be lost in the modern world

Reviews for He Refreshes My Soul: Verse-by-verse reflections on Psalm 23

He Refreshes My Soul is a beautifully crafted work that speaks directly to the heart. Rooted in the timeless wisdom of Psalm 23, Jeannie invites readers to slowly experience God's presence as a constant source of peace, strength and guidance. Each page feels like a gentle conversation with the Shepherd of which the psalm speaks. Jeannie's creative approach blends profound theological insight with the simplicity of heartfelt faith, accessible to both seasoned believers and those exploring the promises of Psalm 23 for the first time. Highly recommended for anyone looking to draw nearer to the heart of the Shepherd who cares for us all. She's only gone and done it again! He Refreshes My Soul is firmly in the stream of the creative, gentle and wise writing that we have been consistently blessed with through Jeannie's work. This book is beautifully written by an author with a wonderfully compassionate heart. Through accessible insights, deftly crafted prayers, insightful questions for reflection and engaging creative suggestions, He Refreshes My Soul opens up Psalm 23 in new and joyful ways. Perhaps most importantly, it has the gift of taking us by the hand and leading us gently towards the God who examines and protects us, welcomes us without condition, and leads us home. This is such a rich book . . . from the chapters on 'lacking nothing' and 'dark valleys' to the reflective questions and creative ideas - even the suggestions on how to organise a small reading group. It encourages us to be really honest and find food for our souls and strength for our journey. Jeannie's commitment to reading slowly, carefully and thoughtfully is something I love and practise. I have always liked Eugene Peterson's description of eating, chewing Scripture, where words come off the page and enter our lives breathing life into our souls. This is what Jeannie offers us.
